What’s an Emergency?

Sometimes, it can be difficult to know what’s a pet emergency and what’s not. If you’re concerned, then we are too! In general, emergencies include but are not limited to:

  • Ingestion of a toxic or poisonous substance, from human foods such as xylitol, chocolate or garlic to household cleaning agents or automotive fluids
  • Hot-weather fainting, seizures, and other signs of heat stroke
  • Fractures, lameness, severe lacerations, and other signs of serious trauma
  • Bleeding from the orifices
  • Choking, gagging, and other respiratory crises
  • Eye injury
  • Inability or refusal to drink water or eat food
  • Lengthy periods between delivery of puppies or kittens in a litter (difficult labor)
  • Unexplained disorientation, dizziness, or loss of consciousness
  • Inability to urinate or defecate
